Abstract: This research investigates the effects of teacher absenteeism on students’ academic achievement in the private colleges of District Mianwali. A cross-sectional survey on 153 male students using a quantitative research method, descriptive and quantitative approach was carried out. Data collection was done using a structured questionnaire that has been validated by expert reviews and pilot study (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.862). In accordance with what is found, the absence of a teacher has an impact on the course completion, continuity, and assessment of students. Statistical analysis proves a positive relationship between teachers’ attendance to classes and students’ academic performance as absenteeism helps hinder a student’s grasping of instructional methods. In addition, monitoring regularity, procedure of training programs and incentive-based motivation can help to reduce absenteeism. Thus, the study calls for policy interventions that can address teacher absenteeism in private institutions to promote educational quality and student outcomes.
